A Boy Named Charlie Brown
Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang in their First Movie!
Directed by Bill Melendez
Produced by United Feature Syndicate, Cinema Center Films
A gentle, warmly humorous animated fable about a lovable underdog's struggle with self-doubt and his small victories in the face of constant failure.
Poor Charlie Brown. He can't fly a kite, and he always loses in baseball. Having his faults projected onto a screen by Lucy doesn't help him much either. Against the sage advice and taunting of the girls in his class, he volunteers for the class spelling bee.
